Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has published more allegations against son of former New Patriotic Party (NPP) Chairman, Freddie Blay.
Ablakwa in a social media post dated June 19, 2024, published company registration documents that showed that Kwaw Worsemao Blay's company was among the shortlisted entities in the controversial sale of SSNIT’s hotels.
Ablakwa has in the last few weeks reported about how Kwaw Blay was in a legal battle with a partner over a popular beachfront belonging to the state-owned Labadi Beach Hotel.
"Apparently, Freddie Blay’s son, Kwaw has bigger plans for Labadi Beach Hotel beyond controlling its lucrative beachfront.
"This latest information pointing to a spirited effort by Mr. Kwaw Blay to purchase SSNIT’s hotels after his infamous beachfront encroachment is certainly bound to create fresh credibility crisis for Mr. Freddie Blay who claimed only last week, amidst issuing threats, that his sons have never been interested in capturing or owning SSNIT’s hotels," his post read in part.
The MP has dared the former NPP chairman to proceed to court over the allegations he (Ablakwa) has put out so far.
Ablakwa on June 18 led a protest against the planned sale of some SSNIT hotels to Rock City Limited, a hotel conglomerate owned by agric minister Bryan Acheampong.
The North Tongu MP has since submitted a 15-point petition to the presidency demanding the sale be cancelled.
He is also pushing a private members' bill against public officials buying state assets.

Interesting days ahead — remember Freddie Blay’s threat compelled me to make a promise that after the #HandsOffOurHotels demonstration, I shall be shedding more light on the role of the Blays in this SSNIT hotels saga — a promise I intend to keep.
I shall be back with more.
